The xx - Islands Remixes (Young Turks)Oh yes. Deep biz on a variety of takes from some big hitters that bring it so hard. Untold's remix takes the bass to another dimension and almost comes out reminding me of some early Roni Size type shit. But oh, dayum - that vocal!! Nosaj Thing smooths it out and gets way ill on the year's best remixes so far. Timeless.

Kingdom feat. Shyvonne - Mind Reader (Fool's Gold)Solid set of remixes for Kingdom, who is absolutely blowing up right now, and rightly so. Big housey next-type beats and electro bass with a wicked vocal on the original get a radio friendly remix from Todd Edwards and then go to fringes with Night Slugs L-Vis 1990 and Bok Bok taking their respective turns. Fucking dope.

Bullion - Say Goodbye To What / Crazy Over You (One Handed Music)Something new, fresh and wonderful from the leftfield beat scene, and wow - sick shit. 'Say Goodbye To What' comes out of the gate with half-time beats, strummed guitar and straight into a insane female vocal session that carves out its own place on the map. 'Crazy Over You' is the smooth side with another warped vocal and wicked stepped out beats. Essential.mp3:

Miike Snow - Silvia remixes (Columbia)Man, this guy is blowing the fuck up. Bringing in a host of heavyweight remixers like Felix Da Housecat, Ingrossio and Dirty South and a few more ain't gonna hurt either. Dig a little deeper to find a dope and surprisingly smooth ride from Sinden and a brilliant funky dub take from another future star in his own right, Emalkay.

Sigha - Rawww (Hotflush)
Glitchy post-techno dubbed out with tons of dark spaces and big basses. The title track is a 10 min Detroitesque journey bumpin along at about 120 bpm, and 'Hold Your Hear Up To The Light' strips it all away for a deep dive into the depths. Very cool.

Bomb The Bass -The Infinites feat. Paul Conboy (K7!)Proper Brit-hop for the 10's from this legendary electronic outfit. Another legendary figure, Atom Heart, puts on his TM guise and takes the prize with a top quality remix that starts as a bleepy builder - complete with my fave type of stabby vox and great tension - and then works it right into a funky big room sound. The Extrawelt remix goes deep electro. Excellent.
